CHICAGO -- The manager of
NBA 160-pound champion Gene
Fullmer tonight said he would be
glad to clean up the "Middleweight
Title Muddle."
D1Iur Tr
Mary Jenson, Fullmer's mana-
ger, said he agreed with a proposal
by the Massachusetts Boxing
Association to hurry a title bout
between Fullmer and Paul Pender,
Brookline, Mass., who owns that
fragment of the 160-pound crown
not claimed by Fullmer.
Said Jenson, whose middle-
weight Ernest Burford fought in
Chicago Stadium tonight:
"Fullmer defends his title
against Sugar Ray Robinson in
Los Angeles Oct. 8. We want to
get that over with. Then we cer-
tainly hope to clean up this whole
title business by meeting Pender.
We don't like " the idea of a split
title any more than Massachusetts
or anybody else."
